Bench Dog router table insert ?

[Scott Rader]

Has anyone purchased this product (Bench Dog 40-031) for their Rigid TS3650 saw? If so, how do you like it? Also, does it install on the right side or does it replace a cast iron wing on the left?

Any other input is welcomed.

thanks.

Excellent product. (My use was slightly non-standard, but my love for the product is real) For a traditional saw, you can mount the wing on either side, although with some LT cabinet saws, the left side doesn't work due to interference with the motor cover. This shouldn't be an issue with the Ridgid machine.

Another thing to consider besides the motor cover is the placement of the bevel knob. When I had my benchdog on my Dewalt, I had to remove a handle from the router to give room to adjust the TS blade angle. I now have the benchdog on my 30" jet saw and left both CI wings intact and attached the benchdog to the factory CI wings by drilling some holes - much more user friendly.
